Hello darlings, In the last post I talked about the new beginnings that fall brings and the importance of following your gut feeling (if you missed it, click here to read it). Following that, I thought I’d share a few thoughts on how five years ago following my gut feeling changed the course of my life. Five years ago was when I first came to England ready to start university and subsequently to move countries and live on my own for the first time. To this day, a lot of people – friends, prospective students, employers and even family members still ask me how had it felt to take that decision, how has my life changed, and if I regret it at all. Truth is, that was the first time I learnt the hard way that amazing things happen when you get out of your comfort zone and confront your fears. I was scared of new, of my English skills not being satisfactory, of not making friends, of this whole idea of the unknown. But it was a fear intertwined with excitement and curiosity, which made me get out of my comfort zone and discover more. The first discovery that I made (and that, as for all of us, is still a work in progress) was to truly discover myself – to understand my flaws and how I can work on them, to not underestimate or overestimate my qualities and instead believe in myself, just how I am.

Hello hello, How is it already winter and how are we only 6 weeks away from Christmas? It’s beyond me. And I know you’ve heard this a gazillion times and it’s a world-known cliché, but time flies, man! Like seriously, this year is almost over? Unbelievable! The amount of things that changed this year is huge, but let’s not get to the reflective post on the year just yet, it’s still November, right? Talking about time flying, my last post was on London Fashion Week and I was away with business. Ever since, I travelled a bit more around, but with less work in mind. For starters, I returned to my homie Worcester for a couple of days to throw the mortarboard and graduate. It was such a perfect day, I felt very proud and grateful to be surrounded by my family and friends for my celebrations. Right after (and I mean right after – I didn’t bother to include sleep in my schedule) I went to Paris for a study trip at the Institut Français de la Mode to get some insight on the luxury fashion market, eat from as many boulangeries as possible, cheer glasses of French wines and indulge myself with pretty macarons. And as I usually get inspired from the places I travel, Paris is no exception, it has that ‘je ne sais quoi’ that makes all French people look effortlessly chic – no overflow of accessories, no layering, no overdoing it. I love that. I feel like my style is constantly changing and I’m very keen on trying out different pieces and see what works...
